''Seaguy'' is a three-volume comic book miniseries written by Grant Morrison with art by Cameron Stewart and published by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics. The first volume of ''Seaguy'' was released in three issues beginning on May 19, 2004. The second volume, ''Slaves of Mickey Eye,'' was released in three issues beginning April 1, 2009. The third and final volume, ''Seaguy Eternal'' is yet to be published. The story revolves around Seaguy, an unpowered superhero in a scuba suit, and his best friend and sidekick Chubby Da Choona, a talking, cigar-smoking tuna. ==Publication history== Morrison has expressed on various occasions that Seaguy represents a deliberate effort to move away from conventions of the current era of comics, "I had the idea to develop Seaguy into a weapon I could use to fight back against the trendy and unconvincing 'bad-ass' cynicism of current comics, most of which are produced by the most un-'bad-ass' men you can possibly imagine". Morrison believes that in this fashion the work represents a new vanguard in the development of comics. He expressed similar sentiments about ''Zenith'', one of the earliest series he worked on, when he said that it "was a reaction against torment superheroes."〔Bishop, David (2007) ''Thrill-Power Overload''. Rebellion, 260 pages, ISBN 1-905437-22-6. Page 120〕 Seaguy was planned as a trilogy, the second and third volumes were to be entitled "The Slaves of Mickey Eye" and "Seaguy Eternal" respectively, but due to the lower-than-expected sales of the comic, it was thought that the sequels were unlikely to be published.〔("SeaGuy Enthusiasm" ), comment by Cameron Stewart on September 7, 2005〕 In 2006, a fan reported to a comics rumor column that Morrison was holding DC Comics' ''52'' weekly limited series for ransom. He reportedly offered to help write the series as long as they allowed him to go forward on the Seaguy sequel.〔("Lying in the Gutters" ), Rich Johnston, ''Comic Book Resources'', June 19, 2006〕 In April 2008 Morrison stated that both sequels would go ahead and gave an overview of the ideas he has about the different parts:〔(All Star Grant Morrison III: Superman ), Comic Book Resources, April 17, 2008〕 The first sequel, ''Seaguy: The Slaves of Mickey Eye'', was released on April 1, 2009 by DC Comics/Vertigo.〔(The cruellest month: DC Comics Solicitations for April 2009 ) Robot 6, Comic Book Resources, January 20, 2008〕 Morrison has expanded on the broader themes: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seaguy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
